I'll bet it won't surprise you at all to learn that spammers do this deliberately, so as to use your mailing list as a de facto "forwarding service" (to make it difficult or impossible for the recipients to tell where it *really* came from). >thus ticking off spam filters worldwide and being reported to the various >blacklists. If you're blacklisted within a couple days of being delisted, it's a safe bet that some spammer *is* deliberately using your server as his forwarding service. It happened to my university's mail server last fall. >My task today is to adjust the bounce procedure to not include the original >message, or, failing that, to just eat the offending message and not >responding at all.
